Free Grace Experience

THE free grace experience is the most glorious, deepest or most profound, the richest, most fruitful and enduring experience of all.

It is the most glorious experience because like nothing else in the universe it redounds to the glory of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is the deepest or most profound because we can only wonder at, but never understand why we who are so unworthy should have free favour heaped upon us.

It is the richest experience because it promotes in us worship, adoration, praise and gratitude. It is the most fruitful as it leads to and encourages sustained devoted service. It explains why Paul laboured more than any other.

Free grace is the most enduring experience. It is never-ending. Our admiration of free grace will abound for ever and ever.

All God’s attributes are glorious and all excite our admiration. His justice and holiness shine and adorn all his other attributes. His power and wisdom are marvellous. His love is astonishing. But were it not for grace or free favour we would receive nothing. An understanding and experience of undeserved free favour impresses the heart with indelible impressions. It casts light upon and gives perspective to the whole of salvation which it explains from beginning to end. The truth of free grace ensures that from start to finish all honour and glory is ascribed to the Triune God.

Grace all the work shall crown,
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.

The Free Grace Experience by Errol Hulse
